Digital & Visual Communications & Analytics

Online, digital and virtual engagement tools produced with an in-depth understanding of the audiences we work with.

We understand that our communication materials need to be responsive to the people we are working with, the area and the culture of a place. Our focus is to make information as clear, understandable and engaging as possible.

We mix up tried and tested methods of engagement with the more cutting-edge ways of presenting and communicating ideas, such as virtual reality and screen-based media. Space, scale and quality are all things that need to be experienced and not just talked about. Our team uses spatial design, stage and digital skills to find a creative solution to involving people in the place-shaping process.
